If I see something I dig, I’ll say it—no strings attached, no expectations of a response or anything. I don't need a pat on the back just for being real.
Look, that wasn't even what I was getting at. What does complimenting someone's t-shirt or whatever have to do with feeding an ego? Yelling out to a stranger that they have good taste isn't some grand gesture to boost their self-esteem—at least not in my book. It's really just letting them know you share the same vibe. That's it. Nothing more.
Look, I’m not an egotist—I don't go chasing compliments because, honestly, I’ve got enough self-assurance to know what I bring to the table without needing a cheering section. I’m pretty skeptical of people who throw praise around like confetti; usually, when someone's being that generous, there’s some kind of ulterior motive lurking underneath. I rarely hand out compliments myself, either—and when I do, it's reserved for my inner circle, the people I actually know and care about. For anyone else, those words just won't come out because it would feel fake—and let's be real, it probably would be. At the end of the day, if your confidence relies on everyone else telling you how great you are, yours is pretty damn fragile.
Over the last few years, my cycle has been a total mess—it’s late by months at a time. But honestly? I’m looking at the bright side. No PMS drama, I can hit the beach in Miami whenever I want without worrying about anything, and let's talk about the money I've saved by not buying endless boxes of pads... ugh, the savings are unreal 🙂
